Is University of Washington (Seattle) a good pre-med school?
I heard the University of Washington has a TOP medical school, but it's in St. Louis. Is it good to go to the one in Seattle instead? Because I hate the location of the actual med school.

Let's get something straight here: Washington University (WashU) in St. Louis is a private college, like Harvard or Yale; and it does have one of the top medical schools in the country. The University of Washington (UW) in Seattle is a public school like any other "State" school.They are not affiliated. Both are fine schools; just WashU's medical school is ranked higher than UW. You do not have to go to the same school for pre-med as medical school; and my experience from taking pre-med classes at a large state school is that the classes are very, very competitive. The difference would be having 800 in your state school organic chemistry class vs.100 in organic chem at a private University.

Either school would be great for premed; it doesn't matter if the school you attend for premed has a med school or not. Premed classes are in the bio, chem, physics, math, and English departments, not the medical school. And you can apply to any med school after doing premed anywhere.

Hard decision, help! which one to transfer to: U of Washington seattle or U of Michigan?
| Hard decision, help! which one to transfer to: U of Washington seattle or U of Michigan? I want to major in international business and finance. Im trying to choose which school to transfer to: UW or UM. UM is about $12,000 more than UW, i just don't know whether it will be worth that much money to go to UM. Thanks Higher Education (University +) - 2 Answers Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions : 1 : University of Michigan dominates...just saying :) 2 : thats tough because UM has a superior business program but 24k extra in loans is a huge sum and the difference in salary post graduation will probablly depend more on your internship, work experience, gpa, and interviewing prowess. I'd go UW, its still a good school |

The University of Washington is one of the best public universities in the US. US News ranks it at #42 -- making it a very good school. It will be academically challenging -- but the business world will reward that. I've only been to Seattle a few times. It reminds me of what San Francisco would be like if you raised the buildings, got rid of the people & plopped Minneapolis down on it -- if that makes any sense. It is a beautiful city with nice people. It is a bit coffee crazy, though.
2 :
UW is a really good school. Most of the students are absorbed by local companies like Microsoft, Amazon Boeing etc. Seattle is a good and unique place to be in. Lots of things to do and if you are an outdoor person, Seattle is the place to be in. You can go skii, rafting, kayaking, rock climbing, climbing etc or just about anything all in a perimeter of 40 miles. People are really nice and cultured and it relatively safer than most of US metropolis. Seattle has the most educated people in US and you will see the difference vis other cities Weather is kind of average, it snows 2 to 5 times a year and that too is modest (1-5 inches usually), there are no crazy storms to deal with. It rains a lot usually in the form of drizzle but rainy season sticks around for 7-8 months. Summers are really nice in Seattle, max temperature in summer is usually in between 70-90F. It rarely gets above 90 in a year (usually 2-8 times). Winters are mild too comapared to most of US. Day temperatures in winter are always in 30-50 F. If you are ok with few weeks of bright sunshine and lots of clouds then seattle is the best place in US.

Does the UW School of Medicine offer tours?
Does the UW School of Medicine offer tours?
I'm going to Seattle next week, and I was wondering if the University of Washington School of Medicine offers tours. I'm assuming there's a medical school outside of the affiliated hospital? I know that undergraduate colleges & universities give tours but I don't know if med schools do. I'm planning to eventually go to med school and thought I might as well check out the school while I'm there. Thanks for your help!

is it legal to use a switch knife as self-defense in the state of washington, specifically seattle?
is it legal to use a switch knife as self-defense in the state of washington, specifically seattle?
I carry my switch-blade only at night, particularly when I am walking home from school at 3 in the morning. Would I be in great trouble if I ever used it in self-defense? I dont mean using it against someone who wants to jack my ipod but rather in response to realy physical threat. Does seattle police enforce the no possession laws or do they excuse it? I'm not a hoodlum that would be involved in any type of crime; I just want the choice to use it when necessary. What do you think about carrying one around? walking home from work at 3 am, not school. Washington: (1) It shall be unlawful for any person to carry, exhibit, display, or draw any firearm, dagger, sword, knife or other cutting or stabbing instrument, club, or any other weapon apparently capable of producing bodily harm, in a manner, under circumstances, and at a time and place that either manifests an intent to intimidate another or that warrants alarm for the safety of other persons. (3) Subsection (1) of this section shall not apply to or affect the following: (c) Any person acting for the purpose of protecting himself or herself against the use of presently threatened unlawful force by another, or for the purpose of protecting another against the use of such unlawful force by a third person; That says its legal if it's in self-defense right?

Tell me about Seattle and Washington state...?
Seattle and Washington state look really interesting to me. I'm considering a move to Seattle to attend law school. I live near Austin, Texas now (my native state,) but have lived in Kentucky, Georgia and Tennessee, also. Needless to say, I might be in for a culture shock, but that's okay--expands the horizons! Some questions: -I know Seattle is not the rainiest city; but, how warm does it usually get in the spring and summer? -I'm not a right-wing nut job from heck, but still a proud conservative; will Seattle be a friendly, open place to people like me? I've gotten mixed reactions about the "friendly" factor in Seattle. -I'm age 32, single, just broke up with fiance, love live music, and into jogging every morning. What makes Seattle, Seattle?

This is the most help I've ever received from any locals, anywhere, before moving to any place. Many Seattleites seem to have a distinct and strong sense of pride of their city and state. Keep the comments coming in. Thanks! The aforementioned comment also has to do with the fact that I posted this same question in Polls & Surveys forum.

Green Lake Park and West Seattle are two of the more popular places for Seattlites to see and be seen on warm sunny days. Speaking of weather, it may not get the most measurable rainfall in the country, but don't be fooled. It does rain a lot. It's usually more of a medium to heavy mist or light rain. You'll learn the difference between partly sunny and partly cloudy. Currently, the temperature has been around the high 40's to mid 50's. When summer hits, it'll soar into the 80's. Once it hits 80, natives will complain of impending heat stroke. We do have conservatives in Seattle, but this is a liberal town. If you don't wear your conservatism on your sleeve, you'll be fine.

That's funny because I grew up in Seattle, and then moved to Austin about 5 years ago. Pretty much you can expect 40-60 degrees year-round as far as the weather. And it is a rainy place, but it's not really "rain". It's mostly just misty all the time. Jogging everyday might be hard to do every morning in the rain (guaranteed that it will be raining/misting 85% of all mornings) Seattle is definitely not as friendly as the South, but it's not a horrible place to live either. I'm generally a conservative person as well, and I survived just fine. You'll be fine. It's definitely populated, and pretty expensive to live, but it sure is beautiful. It truly is a gorgeous place to see, and if you don't move there I definitely recommed a visit. The thing that I love the most about Seattle is the general "vibe" of the city. It's hard to explain, but it's definitely got a hippy/granola feel to it. I'm definitely not a granola girl by any means, but I still appreciate it. I also enjoy the nature and Native American sides that Seattle has to offer. The only reason that I don't plan to move back is that I really enjoy the warm weather and getting to do things outdoors year-round. It also seems to be a little too congested for me. There are people EVERYWHERE there, and it just seems to be getting more crowded. Anyway, hope my little tidbits help!

hi i just read your interest in seattle.. this might come to you on the late side. but would be interested in answering any question you may have regarding the state of Washington in the seattle area. I am a native to this area. And ,if you have any questions what so ever I may be able to help you ....Let me know. As far as living in the northwest, it has many option.such as, boating fishing, hiking, site seeing , bike trails river rafting, well, its endless. the people here, i think are some what friendly. ( You can ask what time is it and they dont seem to bite your head of, per say) There is a lot of diversity here.. such as different cultures, language , fine arts ect seattle is now rated to be listed as the # 3rd place to live in the states. i think its is because of so much flexibility that is offered here...the terrain is up and down as oppose to very flat. the weather now is mild in the lower 50s now , but may very some up to maybe around 60 or so in the spring time.. Some days are not all sunny or all rainy.. the weather does very to one extreme to the other.. kinda teases you thinking that it might be sunny, then Kaboom! It will change.. but, over all getting use to that... its nice to be here in the northwest. like i said if you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to send me your questions and i will reply. hopefully this will help some... sincerely, Lace

Washington is a very beautiful and friendly state(unless I'm just saying that cuz i live here, lol!) but anyway i live in Skagit county which is bout 45min. away from Seattle and i go there ALL the time.it is a very interesting city, especially if u love live music cuz there is so many bums playing there music on like every single street.it is a very peaceful place to just rome around on the streets. so bout the weather, winter is like around 40 or 45 degrees and in the summer it is in the 70's or 80's and yes people in Seattle often complain bout that being too hot, lol. its really not that bad but in the winter they get like an inch of snow which everyone totally freaks out about!!! the rain isn't that bad either(it rains most in fall and winter) after all it is just rain! its not gonna hurt ya. in spring the rain calms down and it slowly starts to turn into summer, it usually NEVER rains in the summer but every once in awhile it does. and no not everyone is exactly "friendly" but over all i would say that it is a nice place to live. if u do decide to move there i would suggest going to the beach or just walking around the town is really fun but the space needle and pike place are both 2 historical landmarks that ya just gotta go see. well hope this helped!!!

blahblah blah!!!! Seattle is really a very cool place to live, I've lived here my whole life and plan to move away, but eventually this is where I intend to stay! ya it rains, but global warming!! haha... summers are very warm and very sunny! it is beautiful on the water, thereis a lot of stuff to do here, bars, clubs, music (a lot of major bands hit Seattle because it is SEATTLE!!!!) and we have great local music too. check out Studio Seven, The Showbox, The Crocodile Cafe and soo many more. By the way, I grew up at the Pike Place market and have worked there for several years, it's great for grocery shopping and I know several locals who do hteir shopping at Pike Place!!! don't diss it, it's basically the only fresh produce market you will find in the downtown Seattle area. also great people. Seattle may be liberal, but for the most part we are more than happy to listen to other peoples opinions and respect them as you respect ours!! Good luck!!!

Be prepared to meet lots of skinny people who wear black, red eyeshadow and smoke clove cigarettes, wear 1980s Goth hair with pink in it ,and have 15 roommates. The girls are like that too. Check Portland OR. That will be my next stop when my outrageously expensive lease ends on my teeeeeeeny tiny apartment.

That's funny because I grew up in Seattle, and then moved to Austin about 5 years ago. Pretty much you can expect 40-60 degrees year-round as far as the weather. And it is a rainy place, but it's not really "rain". It's mostly just misty all the time. Jogging everyday might be hard to do every morning in the rain (guaranteed that it will be raining/misting 85% of all mornings) Seattle is definitely not as friendly as the South, but it's not a horrible place to live either. I'm generally a conservative person as well, and I survived just fine. You'll be fine. It's definitely populated, and pretty expensive to live, but it sure is beautiful. It truly is a gorgeous place to see, and if you don't move there I definitely recommed a visit. The thing that I love the most about Seattle is the general "vibe" of the city. It's hard to explain, but it's definitely got a hippy/granola feel to it. I'm definitely not a granola girl by any means, but I still appreciate it. I also enjoy the nature and Native American sides that Seattle has to offer. The only reason that I don't plan to move back is that I really enjoy the warm weather and getting to do things outdoors year-round. It also seems to be a little too congested for me. There are people EVERYWHERE there, and it just seems to be getting more crowded. Anyway, hope my little tidbits help!

hi i just read your interest in seattle.. this might come to you on the late side. but would be interested in answering any question you may have regarding the state of Washington in the seattle area. I am a native to this area. And ,if you have any questions what so ever I may be able to help you ....Let me know. As far as living in the northwest, it has many option.such as, boating fishing, hiking, site seeing , bike trails river rafting, well, its endless. the people here, i think are some what friendly. ( You can ask what time is it and they dont seem to bite your head of, per say) There is a lot of diversity here.. such as different cultures, language , fine arts ect seattle is now rated to be listed as the # 3rd place to live in the states. i think its is because of so much flexibility that is offered here...the terrain is up and down as oppose to very flat. the weather now is mild in the lower 50s now , but may very some up to maybe around 60 or so in the spring time.. Some days are not all sunny or all rainy.. the weather does very to one extreme to the other.. kinda teases you thinking that it might be sunny, then Kaboom! It will change.. but, over all getting use to that... its nice to be here in the northwest. like i said if you have any questions whatsoever, please feel free to send me your questions and i will reply. hopefully this will help some... sincerely, Lace

Washington is a very beautiful and friendly state(unless I'm just saying that cuz i live here, lol!) but anyway i live in Skagit county which is bout 45min. away from Seattle and i go there ALL the time.it is a very interesting city, especially if u love live music cuz there is so many bums playing there music on like every single street.it is a very peaceful place to just rome around on the streets. so bout the weather, winter is like around 40 or 45 degrees and in the summer it is in the 70's or 80's and yes people in Seattle often complain bout that being too hot, lol. its really not that bad but in the winter they get like an inch of snow which everyone totally freaks out about!!! the rain isn't that bad either(it rains most in fall and winter) after all it is just rain! its not gonna hurt ya. in spring the rain calms down and it slowly starts to turn into summer, it usually NEVER rains in the summer but every once in awhile it does. and no not everyone is exactly "friendly" but over all i would say that it is a nice place to live. if u do decide to move there i would suggest going to the beach or just walking around the town is really fun but the space needle and pike place are both 2 historical landmarks that ya just gotta go see. well hope this helped!!!

blahblah blah!!!! Seattle is really a very cool place to live, I've lived here my whole life and plan to move away, but eventually this is where I intend to stay! ya it rains, but global warming!! haha... summers are very warm and very sunny! it is beautiful on the water, thereis a lot of stuff to do here, bars, clubs, music (a lot of major bands hit Seattle because it is SEATTLE!!!!) and we have great local music too. check out Studio Seven, The Showbox, The Crocodile Cafe and soo many more. By the way, I grew up at the Pike Place market and have worked there for several years, it's great for grocery shopping and I know several locals who do hteir shopping at Pike Place!!! don't diss it, it's basically the only fresh produce market you will find in the downtown Seattle area. also great people. Seattle may be liberal, but for the most part we are more than happy to listen to other peoples opinions and respect them as you respect ours!! Good luck!!!

its a great place to live, although a little pricey. i live around there myself. Greenlake/Wallingford area is one of if not the most safe place to live around there. i dont want to sound redundant so ive decided that you should just remember this little sidenote: There are lots on nice suburbs around there too, so you aren't just limited to Seattle.

Here is a website of average weather in the spring and summer here in Seattle http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/sew/summer06web.php I think that this is the best site to read about Seattle.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle,_Washington

What should I pack for a school trip to Washington DC?
What should I pack for a school trip to Washington DC?
So for school we have a trip to DC from Seattle and I was wondering what I should pack clothes-wise. The trip is going to be in spring time (late March, early April) and I don't know the weather there. The trip in about 5 days and 4 nights long. The principal says we walk everywhere so comfy clothes, I'm guessing? If you could give me a list of what you would pack, that would be great. Thanks, Aisha Grace

Comfortable clothes for sure. Dress in layers, since April in the nation's capital has a tendency to be either really hot or really cold, and it's hard to tell which one you'll get on a given day.
